News Topical, Digital Desk : It's impossible to have radishes in your plate during winter. Whether it's radish parathas, salads, or pickles, we Indians eat them with great relish. Radish is considered a treasure trove of health because it improves digestion and boosts immunity.
But did you know that radishes aren't beneficial for everyone? Eating radishes can be detrimental to health in certain health conditions. Are you unknowingly compromising your health? Let's learn about the five types of people who should avoid radishes.
Low blood pressure patients
If your blood pressure is often low, radishes could be a problem. Radishes contain a good amount of potassium, which helps lower blood pressure by removing sodium from the body (Mooli Side Effects). This is a boon for those with high blood pressure, but those with already low blood pressure may experience dizziness or weakness.
People with thyroid problems
Thyroid patients should avoid eating raw radishes. Radishes contain a substance called goitrogen, which can interfere with the functioning of the thyroid gland. This inhibits the body's absorption of iodine, which can worsen thyroid problems. If you must eat radishes, eat them cooked, never raw.
People taking diabetes medication
Radishes are known to lower blood sugar levels, but if you're already taking diabetes medication and eat a lot of radishes, your blood sugar levels could suddenly drop. This can be dangerous, so diabetic patients should limit their intake of radishes.
Anyone who complains of gas or pain in the stomach
Radishes take some time to digest and can cause gas in the stomach. If you already have gastritis, stomach ulcers, or frequent gas, avoid radishes. Eating radishes, especially at night, can increase bloating and stomach pain .
stone patients
People with gallstones should especially avoid eating radishes. Several studies suggest that consuming radishes increases bile secretion. If you have gallstones, this increased secretion can exacerbate the pain and worsen your discomfort.
Radishes are undoubtedly a treasure trove of health benefits, but "too much of anything is bad." If you're suffering from any of the problems listed above, consult your doctor before enjoying them.
